About

In 1863, Martha Jane Cannary travels the Oregon Trail and trains to ride while her injured father cannot drive the family wagon.

In 1863, during the Colorado gold rush, Martha Jane Cannary (voiced by Salomé Boulven) travels with her father and sisters in a caravan across America toward Oregon. When her father is injured by their horse, Martha tries to take responsibility for the family carriage. The group's leader, Abraham (Jochen Hägele), instead puts his son Ethan (Santiago Barban) in her place, and tension grows between Martha and Ethan as she pushes against the role assigned to her and he tries to earn his father's approval.

Martha secretly spends her nights learning to ride and lasso and sewing trousers for herself, which goes against the expectation that women wear dresses and skirts. The caravan later meets an American soldier, Samson (Alexis Tomassian), who tells them they are heading in the wrong direction.
